THE FREEMAN AND ETHIOPIA SHALL STRETCH FORTH HER HAND A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOL. XXIII NUMBER 10 HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON SUCCEEDS DANCY For District of Columbia-Bill for Exposition Sure to Pass Carter for Chaplain of Tenth Cavalry-Gossip of the Day. The resignation of Mr. Dancy will not be effective until the first of May. The reing and the incoming recorder will have ample time in which to arrange the resignation. It is expected that Mr. Johnson will be promptly confirmed by the Senate. . . . The retirement of Mr. Dancy was in the nature of things in this age of hustle and struggle for the plums that flow from the orchard to practically $15,000 per order leaves his office with a record unequalled by any previous incumbant, having increased the surplus receipts to $15,000 in 1810, and turning the treasury more than double the amount reported by all of his predecessors combined. Beaulds completely reorganized the system of the office and put in an equipment in keeping with the unity of the capital of the greatest government, such eminent recorders as Frederick Douglass B. K. Bruce, James C. Matthews, James C. Brotter and others, the results brought to light the achievement of which not only he, but the entire race, may justly feel proud. The length of over eight years was the longest of the history of the office, and his department, the people of the District, regardless of color. Naturally, everybody is speculating about Mr. Dancy's future. Yet a young man, as ages now go, it cannot be man, as he is still in the game". Other campaigns are coming on the silver-toned voice of John C. Bannon will be needed to expound business, as an agent of the court, that he will respond as he is allied to the doubted. As he has some "footing in soil" here, the prediction is made that he will go into the real estate business, with what is likely to be a good say he will take the lecture platform, he is one of the race's greatest drawing cards. He is mentioned for grand masters, and for the former of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows his name is also connected with the leadership of the Odd Fellows' Journal. He several books in course of preparation, in the "Temple of C. Price", and he will finish these in the near future. Some hint that he may enter the ministry, with a view of reaching a place in the schools of the A. M. E. Zion Church, a place in the years ago for the indication that he would make them, again, like Roosevelt, he may take a period of rest and recreation, much of the continuous career of thirty odd years of the matter is that the strenuous Mr. Dancy may do any or all of these things if he could to him in the next three decades as he has been in the past. It may be said, in particular, that John C. Dancy is one of those men, whom public office does not make large, and the instrument will not make him less a leader in the church or recorder. He returns to private life "unsoiled and unspoiled." Another set of speculations also abounds in this community—the most fertile in the sun for rumors and conjectures, well known to the man on the corner is asking, "What the effect of these appointments and conjectures in the Negroes of the country in general is, how as Recorder-to-be Johnson is, will he be?" The tenure of the remaining members of the so-called "Black Cabinet." This is always a fruitful theme—usually winding up in the circle, "their circle" just results further inroads; Judge Terrell has just been reappointed and Attorney Cobb's place is not asked for. Neither Mr. Vernon nor Mr. Tyler have finished a first round of the ceremonial round of complaint cannot be made, as it was in the case of Mr. Dancy. Most insurance companies would rate the latter as "first-rate" as make-up form and occasion of the services past and future, and they can in the future for the administration. The problem that is troubling the denizens of the F street andurturger Row is that the fact, if any, will the injection of the new personality have upon the line-up of the "Black Cabinet" when Mr. Dancy retires? When this question is broached no change had been made in personal, interrogator feel like "beating it" for the back alley. No one doubts that the harmony that has existed in the official family circle heretofore will continue as no change has been made in personal, interrogator feel like "beating it" for the continuation of Minister H. W. Furniss at Haiti, and Minister Ernst Lyon at Liberia. They are giving eminent satisfactions in the census bureau are spoken in the highest term. Rumor has it that the census bureau is going to outdo itself in giving places to clerks, and it is expected that Director Durand's staff will work well. Some interesting developments are promised within the next few days, and the town is "all agog, awaitting the stunts that are to go bully off" by the political and social giants. Just now Recorder Johnson is the most talked about colored man in Washington, and his course will be watched with an aim to shame a Just Institution born is one of the early probabilities. Already the possibility of changes in his office force are being discussed with a vigor that is forming the timid. For gossip, nation's nation has got everywhere "skun to death." . . . The pressure for the passage of the resolution providing for the commission of seven semi-centennial exposition of Negro progress goes on with accelerated force. Resolutions are coming in daily to the members then to them to be sent to the institutions from civic bodies in various parts of the country, and the mail of the members of the House is flooded with letters when it turns up for final consideration. A letter from Hon. E. L. Taylor, Jr., the author of the bill, says, among other things: "I am satisfied that the resolution of the exposition committee will pass the House, when submitted for its consideration. I assure you that it is a pleasure for me to introduce this bill, and for my interest of the colored people at any time. It will be interesting to note that in the House last week Mr. Barchfield, of Pennsylvania, introduced the Hospital and Nurse Training School, of Pittsburg, Pa. urging the passage of the semi-centennial exposition measure, and another of enor from the nation of Brooklyn, presented by Mr. Goulden of that state. Commercial and fraternal bodies are following suit, and this widespread enthusiasm is having a helpful effect on the nation." He has been doubtful of the wisdom of holding such an exposition. "As We See It," a novel of deep human interest, by Robert Lewis Waring, has been issued from the press of the Sudarshan warships, of New York, and of the attention the hands of the literateurs of the capital. More will be said of this wonderful book later. The "crack" Baltimore whist club has again decisively defeated Washington at "duplicate whist."

PAST WEEK AT LOUISVILLE NEW DANCING ACADEMY LARGELY ATTENDED FIGHT ON NEGRO SALOON KEEPERS By Editor of Daily Paper—Rev. Charles S. Morris to Conduct Revival—The Annual Pythian Memorial Services Held. (By CARY B. LEWIS.) Special to THE FREEMAN. COLUMBIA, KY. March 1—The dancing academy KY, which Messrs. Tom Young and George Evans are proprietors will entertain the "Smart Set" Company next Tuesday night, March 8, at Odd Fellows Hall, Thirteenth and Walnut streets, Tom Young and George Evans meet every member of the company, and a real jolly good time will be had on this occasion. Dancing has become quite contagious here of late, and more affairs of this nature are being given than ever. At every social function it usually results in a little dancing. At one time it was thought very much of place to dance, but since the dancing class is giving so much attention to the hygienic part, dancing is very popular. One dances now for hygiene, just as one takes the proper diet. Mr Young is becoming a professional instructor in rhythm movements, and his school is being largely attended. "Scientific dancing" is the slogan of the school, and the sudden craze for the term "dance crowds." The girls are saying that if you wish to be healthful and an accomplished dancer, the academy school is the place to be instructed. The evening night a new dance will be introduced, and music from "His Honor the Barber" will be played by the orchestra. Mr. Dudley and his entire company have been invited to the dance. Mr. Young and George Evans of the academy school will attend the show later in the week, and will have boxes. A few self-constituted leaders of the Negro race have in the past few weeks been agitating in the interest of the "Jim Crow" movement, and have been custom when two or three are gathered together, they must resolute. On this occasion they did not address their communication to the City Council, who have such matters, but the Commercial Club. Such efforts on the part of some of our peers have been successful to pose as leaders we have always proved to undertake to the race. The most blatant and brazen are ever willing to sacrifice the many to the glory of the few. The measure defeated by notorious agitation of the race question. The only sensible policy is silence and indifference. If the great mass of colored people are oppressed the president of the legislature, what a few untrained, incompetent, and imaginary leaders hope to accomplish by throwing themselves into the breach? Win a little cheap notoriety could be directed to the accomplishment of some object that is helpful, such as the erection of a new High School, which would be of real benefit to the race. Mr. J. B.

"Honest" Nutter the famous colored umbrella has been appointed in his room for the past two weeks with an indisposition that for a while rendered him helpless.

He is the one colored umbrella to whom no white team objects to officiating in a game, for he knows all the fine points of the game.

Special to HIKE In the Ice 'Gilbert, one of the oldest men of West Bend, passed away February 7 and was buried in Scarlet Ridge cemetery, near French Lick. "Uncle Ice" was a fine old character and one of every one among the first college students at the Springs, having come after our oldest colored resident, Burl Falkner, in the fall of 1889, when a buss was used to carry guests from Orleans to the Springs. "Uncle Ice" was an ex-soldier and old soldier, and always delighted in telling incidents of the past. He died of congestion of the brain about a week after receiving a blow or puncture from his fellow workmen, Will Gibson, known as "Gib." He is a young man weighing about 200 pounds. "Uncle Ice" was about 75 years of age and had a coffee cup for about 10 years...C.W. Watts, secretary and business agent for the waiters' and port. No editor should feel that it is discreditable to use such "plate" as Mr. Dodson furnishes. * * * Ohio's energetic colored contingent wants a full-fledged Taft appointment in the presidential class of rewards, and will not be happy without it. This is the interpretation the soothsayers place upon a recent editorial "leader" in the Cleveland Journal, which is presumed to be the administration mouthpiece. *** While the explorers, aviators, scientists, globe-trotters and doctrinales are making dashes for the South Pole, excursing into the dizzy atmospheric heights, locating canals on Mars, unearthing germs and introducing fifty-seven or more varieties of new wild animals, the Negro is anxiously scouring the horizon for a Columbus, Balboa or Matt Henson who can discover a few $4,000 jobs into which a group of leading members of the race will fit so snugly that no friction will result *** The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger sings cheerily of the ease with which banquets are pulled off for "most anybody as is anybody" in the Monumental City, and inquires, "Who will be the next victim to be offered up as an honored guest?" Why not make Editor Murphy himself the next lamb to be led to this joyous slaughter? We are for him, and stand ready to accept a plate at said "feed." *** Nahum D.

BLAZED A WAY WHICH OTHERS ARE FOLLOWING—NEW IDEAS Thousands of men and women have remained out of Fraternal Orders because they objected to the time-worn custom of marching under flying banners and streaming Regalia, also the practice of doing naught but looking after the sick and burying the dead. The Mosaic Templars of America adopted a simple badge (2x6 inches) as its regalia, and was the first Fraternal institution in the United States to introduce the Endowment feature. It has been adopted by all of the leading Fraternal Orders in the world. By careful and conservative business methods we place our financial condition where it cannot be shaken. Through our Endowment Department we have paid out to widows and orphans nearly a half-million dollars. All of our claims are paid to date, and we pay them as soon as they are filed in this office—there is no delaying or waiting, for we have got the money. We never allow our reserve fund to fall below 1 per cent. of the value of policies in force. Insurance Experts have figured this out as a safe margin, and we strictly adhere to it.

Every soul is filled with laughter When the bills are thrown aroun'. They well know what to look for when those "Georgias" come to town. And that band—when it starts plain' King of Rags—it's number eight— All the "Jays" want to yell out and the Jigs don't hesitate. Now, there's somethin' 'bout the "Geor- gias." So here's to the dear old Pringle Show, The father of them all; May she always be able to please 'em, The cities, the tanks, and all. "LOVING CUP" FOR EMMETT J SCOTT. Thompson's National News Bureau. Tis said somewhere in Holy Writ that "bread cast upon the waters will return after many days," and in the months ago, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, after a correspondence covering fully two years, and in the face of an almost insurmountable opposition, was issued an executive order requiring the four regiments of colored soldiers in the United States army to be supplied with bandmasters of their own race. A way was thus opened up for the utilization of the African-American tent Negroes, who thus far had been denied the opportunity to advance according to their merits, and an inspiration to their themselves for this class of musical work. In recognition of Mr. Scott's timely and praiseworthy service in this direction, the four musicians of the army, through Major J. B. Ramsey, commandant of cadets at Tuskegee Institute, presented Emmett J. Scott a beautiful silver loving cup at Tuskegee in the great chapel on February 1. The cup is a hammered silver affair with three handles, mounted on an ebony base, and is inscribed: Token of Esteem From Chief Musicins Colored Regiments United States Army, December 5, 1909, The chief musicians who are at present in charge of these regimental bands are. Wade H. Hammond, 9th Cavalry, Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming. Alfred J. Thomas, 10th Cavalry, Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont. Meward Fok, 24th Infantry, Madison Barracks, Burlington, Illinois. Ellibert Williams, 25th Infantry, Fort Lawton, Washington. All are making records of which every member of the race may feel a justifiable pride. Following the touching presentation address of Major Ramsey, whose device to evening the attendance of Mr. Scott at the evening of the race might come as a total surprise, makes a pretty story, the happy recipient of the cup made a very appropriate response in the form of a large share of credit for trying to do for the sacrifices of the army and the race the service he felt they so eminently deserved. In conclusion Mr. Scott said: "He used to be me to pounce the gratitude I feel, not to properly appreciate the valor of these splendid men; yet, Major Ramsey, I would asseize the gratitude for the most kindness to sendling through this loving cup, which I shall always cherish." He presents the presentation Captain N. Clark Smith's oration played "The Stspangled Banner," all the young men on the Institute coming to their feet, and at its conclusion giving quite vigorously, leo Captain Austin, a yell appropriate to the Captain. LOUISVILLE, KY. Special to THE FREEMAN. Mr. Charles Watts, business agent and secretary-treasurer of the Waiters and Cooks' Alliance of this city, has gone to French Lick Springs for a ten-days' rest. He will be the first and last scientific workers of the organization. Through him a large number of young men of the city are given employment at various hotels and parks. The organization nurtures professional workers for banquets, hospitality and service by and this means the organization is gaining a foothold in the city and its influence is being felt in a very beneficial way. They are the organization is 420 Fifth street, Mr. Watts' office of the agents of The Freeman. His many friends wish that he will be much improved after his stay at French Lick. At this writing, the news of the death of J. Ed Green has been flashed over the country. The body arrived at the home of the friend, Mr. Watts. This is Mr. Green's home, and the funeral vices will take place from the Second Baptist Church, Wednesday afternoon of this week. A large delegation from this and other cities attended the funeral services. Miss Julia Young, editor of the Kentucky Standard, gave three columns last week to Prof. Joseph Cotter. When she finishes with her pen, she is reported to "sit up and take a seat." She is reported to be the other "hot one" this week. When she writes on public questions and public men, she goes right to the heart of things. She is no trucker or cinger; she speaks right out. When she writes, she writes well. Dr. C. H. Harris and Dr. W. T. Merchant are in Washington in the interest of Hon. Washington. She is the chances of Mr. White for minister to Haytian are very good and that Mr. A. B. McBaffie may become his private secretary. Mr. McBaffie is a stawart Republican, a brilliant politician, and is now a United States revenue gaucer. THE PORT CITIES—DULUTH AND SUPERIOR Special to THE FREEMAN. The people of the Port Cities have begun to take considerable interest in the proposed Negro exposition in 1913 as outlined in The Freeman from time to time. The following editorial from Saturday's New-Tribune describes the majority of the nation's opinion of the majority of the citizens, black and white, at the head of the lakes, and it is generally accepted that Booker T. Washington should head the commission for the exposition. The majority of the men selected from above the line, and Mr. George L. Knox should by all means be one of those men, with a fight for Indianapolis as the place of holding the exposition a possibility. "A NEGRO EXPOSITION. The Negroes are considering an industrial exposition for 1913, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The bare fact that such an undertaking is considered possible is rather startling when given but little consideration to the design of the race. Yet, if undertaken and located in some central city near, but not in the city where it was given, it may be smothered by prejudice or killed by social injustice ought to be a sufficient financial success, provided it was not organized on a too ambitious scale. It would attract a goodly attendance of white people through curiosity, business interest, a genuine sympathy and a desire both to help the Negroes by such encounters, and to articles of Negro manufacture. In fact, it would be interesting, same classes of patronage as have all other expositions, who doubtless contain any surprises. In industrial education a man has taught his white brother. It would be interesting, too, to see just what he has accomplished in other fields of effort; if there is any growth in the applied arts, in architecture, in industrial design, as we know there has been in agriculture. The 'plant' itself, designed and constructed as architects, builders and sculptors, would prove a wonderful opportunity for the race. Every feature of it would be studied with interest, and would be full of opportunity to the ambitions of our dark-skinned citizens. "But it should in every way, if undertaken, be characteristic of the race. It should not be a Negro exposition, as distinctive as is their music, their temperament, their idealism. Many a Negro concert has been spied by the press, but this exposition should not be spoiled in the same way, as, unless distinctive, it would not attract nor impress, but this exposition would not underwent an operation for stomach trouble at St. Luke's Hospital last week and is progressing nicely. William Butts, who was up for most of the time, has been to be about. Following in the wake of the Jeffries-Goth combination, champion Jack Johnson is to appear in Duluth at the Lyceum Theatres, where he will escapades which have been linked with his name, considerable interest is manifested in his appearance here, as he has many admirers, both in and out of the sporting fraternity. Messrs McHall & Davis, authors and composers of the song "Stalling Coon," are to appear in Duluth at their sales of the song through the Ingoald Westgard Music Company. A number of professionals have secured copies of the song to them, and they speak very highly of it. JACKSONVILLE. ILL. Special to THE FREEMAN South Bend, Ind. Special to The Freeman KANKAKEE. ILL.

GEORGE I,. KNOX, Publisher and Managing Editor. EL,WOOD ©. KNOX, Business Manager. SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1910. What is the matter with Indiana? ‘The congressional campaign of 1910 comes on apace! ‘The best way to punish a notoriety- seeking enemy, is to ignore him in your paper. Fare ye well, Hon. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds, Washington, D. C., good and faithful. The Negro press need not fear to inject “ginger” into their editorial when wrongs must be righted. Has the esteemed Washington Bee ceased to assume to be the mouth- piece of the Tuskegee Wizard? “Farming out” the editorial page is getting to be quite noticeable in cer. tain newspapers not far from the na- tion's capital. Watch this column for our complete premium plan to aid in our 5,000 sub- scription campaign, to be announced in the next issue of this paper. John C. Dancy will be a bigger man out of office than when in the han ness. The country will always listen with interest to anything this genial, race-loving man has to say. We regret to note that the manag- ing editor and his wife are both ill, ‘and. confined to the house under the watchful surveillance of a skilful physician and a trained nurse. Read our Washington letter this week. It is unusually racy, and gives an insight into political ' conditions that will make everybody “sit up and take notice.” ‘The opening up of new places by the administration is an industry that ought to be encouraged. Now thar the good work has been commenced, let it go on with increased speed, Open up the jobs! If the fattest plums are to go to the Southern States to pay pre-conyention debts, what is the use of the Negro voters of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, West Virginia and Michigan rolling up monster majorities for the Republican ticket? What's the answer? It is highly essential that the right men be named as members of the pro- posed Commission of Seven to exam- ine into the feasibility of the 1913 ex. position. It is better that they be ex- perienced, clear-headed and loyal to the best interests of the Negro race than that they be simply “big men.” The senior bishop of the A. M. E. 7% Chureh Connection is making things hum by his pungent discourses upon the “Blunders” of the Church in a series of articles running in the Star of Zion, the organ of the Connection. Dr. J. H. Manley and Bishop Clinton are after him. Things are getting warm in Zion, Look out! There will not be any “Jim crow” street cars for Louisvilie, and here’s a hearty shake for Editors Steward and Peters. The power of the press is significant in this case. The race is staggering under such laws. We have entirely too many discriminating laws now, notwithstanding the paliat- ing position of some of our so-called leaders. Exit “Jim crow.” Race pride, race patriotism, race love and race progress ought to so permeate the hearts of the Negroes of this city as to cause them to get together and start a bank, a shoe fac- tory, a theater, and organize an in. surance that really could be called a “home insurance company.” Let us come together and do something worth the while. Why not? There should be less talk of ,‘white supremacy” of a right, etc. and less advising the race to knuckle to the laws of oppression and repression. What the Negro should be told is to rise up and fight for his rights, as a man, and never to submit to flunky- ism. Don’t be a lick-spidler or clam. Be aman! You have a right on earth and in heaven. Be a man—every inch @ man! No compromise. “EVERY RIGHT WITH ALL THY MIGHT!” We find our rebuke of the careless habit of the world’s great pugilist, Mr. Johnson, has been well received in the sporting world, where the cham- pion has many friends. May he con- tinue to improve in his conduct and win many friends who otherwise would be prejudiced to him if he did not behave himself in a manner to draw them to him. Even a pugilist must have friends. A friend will tell you of your faults. The Freeman is your friend. Here's hoping that you may win. Senator Ben Tillman has had an- other stroke of paralysis, affecting his vocal chords. He will’ be incapaci- tated from public service for some time. Ex-Governor Vardaman was de- feated for the United States Senate, as he deserved to be, and the succes- sor to the vacant seat in the Senate is supposed to be normal on the race question. The State should in fair- ness and justice to the Negro have two Negro Congressmen and one Sen- ator. Taxation without representation is dishonest. The Negro citizen in each and every State in the Union should have the right to vote, the right to be elected to office in city, State or Nation. These rights were bought by his an cestors’ blood, and written in the Con- stitution with pens whose handles were made from the bones of our fathers that strewed the battlefields of the Southland, and no city or State has a right to deprive him of those rights. Rise up and fight! “THEY THAT WOULD BE FREE MUST THEMSELVES STRIKE THE BLOW.” Strike! ‘Taxation without representation is wrong, unrepublican, undemocratic and un-American. God give us Men! The Freeman is glad to note that the investigaing committee appointed by the National Baptist convention re- cently held in Columbus, Ohio, founa nothing against the management of ‘the publishing house at Nashville, nor anything that would justify suspicion of the Rev. R. H. Boyd's honor or in- tegrity. We appreciate this very much. Dr. Boyd has done a great work for the Baptist denomination and ought to be held in high esteem by it. No man has ever attained great- ness in this world in any line of con- structive work to benefit a people or organization who did not have to meet with liars and slanderers on the way, and Dr| Boyd is no exception to the rule. We welcome to our X the follow- ing new newspapers that have been launched in the interest of the race. They are to be commended for their courage. May they each have a long and prosperous life, and a rich return for service rendered. They are as foi- lows: ‘The Kentucky Educator, of Frankfort, Ky., Prof. W. H. Mayo, ede itor and manager; The Enterprise, of Wadesboro, N. C., Thomas T. Henry, eritor, Dr. E. L. Thomas, business manager; The Liberian Register, of Monrovia, Africa, John L. Morris, ed- itor; The National Aspect, Chicago, Ill, W. H. A. Moore, editor (an old friend and wise newspaper man). Gentlemen, we wish you well, and hope that you all will do well. Bishop McDowell, of the Methodist Episcopal Church,’ does not mince words in his answer to Archbishop Ireland on the Fairbanks episode of recent occurrence in Rome. Hear the bishop: The work of the Methodist association in Rome. is not one whit. more. “perni- Glously proselyting” than the work of the Paulist fathers and other Catholle organ: {gations in America, Such charges sare simple slander, and’ such statement. ts utterly unbecoming a church dignitary ike Archbishop Ireland, ‘Anybody who knows the work In Rome knows Tt speaks for {seit Tt has the Approval and support of miny of the best Citzens ‘of Rome | and" the school” i patronized by the children of many ol Ieading families, “I do not cate, of course, to defend our work in Tate, but it Is ev! dent that “Archbishop Treland, from his interview, is greatly’ disturbed by. what has been ‘done. For ourselven. ‘we greatly admire) Mr, Fairbanks’ dignity and ihoroughly American attitude, “Tis words in. reference to religious freedom’ and tolerance "were spoken in the best and truest American, spirit. Nobody" in this case appears in a bad light but the Pope's advisers and possibly Shor Binns: binant: Bishop A. Walters, D. D., of the A. M. §E. Zion Church Connection, reacted the shores of England just in time to stop an “English mad dog* afflicted with an attack of “Negro- phobia,” and who in his madness at. tempted to bite all the colored folks on earth and most of them that had gotten within the “pearly gates.” The bishop handed him out a big dose— in the Queen’s most vigorous and ex pressive English, done up in a lemon —and told him to take it in whole doses. He guaranteed a cure forever of future demonstrations of the hys. teria. This vile slanderer of the race will not be heard from again soon. Of this we feel confident. Only for this incident we would have yet been in ignorance as to the prominence of the good bishop's relation, or blood kin, if you please. He told the English- ‘man that he was in deed and in truth a blood relative of the late martyrea President Abraham Lincoln, Bully for Walters! It was prognosticated that when the Bishop's Council met at Vicksburg that something very much out of the ordinary would happen, but not so. It was thought and said that among the extraordinary things that would happen would be (1) the restoration of Rev. Dr. H. T. Johnson to the edi- torship of the Christian Recorder, and (2) that because of the Morris Brown College controversy, and the part he took in it, that the presiding bishop of the district (Smith) would be un- frocked. Nothing of this sort hap- pened. Johnson, for some unex: plained reason, is continued on salary and permitted to remain outside ot the activities of the office of editor. Prof. Wright, the very efficient and congenial young editor, is continued at the post he has so ably filled since his induction to the office, and he must DO for his salary, while John- son has DONE for his salary. Some one please explain this strange bit of ecclesiastical proceeding. HELL IN GEORGIA. There is nothing that so invigorates and inspires us as the opportunity to men who have done and are still do- say pleasant things about our leading ing a great work for God and the ele. vation of the race of mankind. We feel that there is nothing that so prejudices people against us as to see how prominent men and leading news- papers are fighting each other. Take for instance the recent cases as ex- posed to our view by the press. In THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Cleveland, Ohio, The Gazette and the Journal, both excellent papers aiming to serve the race, are at loggerheads with each other and exhibiting an amazing amount of spleen and ani mus. Down in Georgia the Atlanta Independent is yielding its valuable space to washing the “dirty linen” of some of Bishop Smith's detractors in reference to the Morris Brown Col- lege controversy. This slanderous fight has been taken up by other local papers, and even it has reached a cer- tain New York paper. The American Citizen seems bent on helping the In- dependent to circulate and spread the scandal among the citizens of Atlanta, which surprises us a little, as the edi- tor of the Citizen himself is a_min- ister of the gospel. He is bold to declare that Bishop Smith is charged with being intoxicated, and he insin- uates that Bishops Parks and Lamp- ton are guilty of deceit and duplicity and are moral cowards, ett. Bishops Turner and Flipper are lined up on the oposition side to Bishop Smith, and a Rey. Dr. Stinson, in the city dailies, is appealing to the passionate and prejudiced whites to assist in in- timidating and running out of the State the “Northern firebrand,” as Bishop Smith is called. This, gentle- men, is scandalous. Hell is let loose in Georgia. The whites against the blacks and bitterly opposed to them, and the blacks against each other and themselves. Business being dull, a sacrifice had to be made, so at Vi- dalia last Tuesday a victim was sought by the blood-thirsty mob, and one was found in the person of a poor, defepseless Negro, and he was lynched, charged with the usual of- fense. No one is held responsible for the lynching.

The Chocolate Drops, with King and Bailey, opened a week's engagement at the Colonial Theater Monday afternoon. The act had been much heralded, and made a big impression. The act is 18 minutes full stage. It might properly be termed a refined costume singing and dancing act. Both of the princesses are clever in their separate roles, but they work together throughout the entire stunt. As a low comedian he has the earmarks as a comer of the whirlwind variety. His dancing is both clever and unique. The versatility of his work is impressive. He attains at the opening performance. He is quite as good as a "wench" as he was in his other comedy efforts. The team is delightfully combined. Mr. Bailey is a smart, well-dressed woman, wears his faultless costumes of many changes with nonchalance and grace. His accent is distinct, and the business he injects in his work put him truly in the class of George Walker. The act has been successful, consistent with the environment desired. The girls, four in number, are pleasing, and while not possessed of exceptionally strong voices, are remarkable for their stage presence, and for their talent. The characters have the "goods," and would not surprise me to see them at the head of a company at no distant day. THE "CASHIER" Eighteen Minutes Full Stage Romaine Fielding made his initial appearance in vaudeville last week in Inwood, where he met the clever sketch called "The Cashier." By virtue of its merit and excellent presentation, the act has been United, and will be at the Grand in Cleveland, March 21. Mr. Fielding has been identified with many big legitimate attractions produced by the Liebler syndicate. WHITNEY MUSICAL COMEDY CO. The Whitney Musical Comedy Company finished a record-breaking week in Shelbyville, Ind. From the opening night until midnight the company released Friday, of Shelbyville, says the Whitney Musical Comedy Company gave the most unanimous satisfaction of any production in the country in a house. S. Tutt Whitney is a comedian who grows in favor the more you see him. His name is a byword in southern Indiana. Miss Mable Brown, of Chicago, who replaced Miss Daisy Martin as leading lady of the Whitney Musical Comedy Company, made an instantaneous hit. Her comedianette was complete in the audiences. Her dancing is out of the ordinary. Elwood Knox, the general editor of Tuxedo Theater, was complete in "The Star of Zangibar" Friday night in Shelbyville. He expressed himself as being pleased with the performance and surprised at the crowded house at the theater on the week, Mr. Knox was the guest of S. Tutt Whitney and T. L. Corwell. Mr. Knox is a representative American and a jolly good friend of the audience. He had to respond to more than half a dozen encores. LAST TIBUTE OF RESPECT PAID J. ED GREEN. BY CARY B. LEWIS. Special to THE FREEMAN: NEW ALBANY, Ind.—The funeral services of J. Ed Green were held at the Second Baptist Church, Wednesday morning, February 23, at 11 o'clock. This being the birthday celebration of the singer and actor, hundreds of people, both white and colored, came out to pay their last respects to the honored dead. The body arrived from Chicago early Wednesday morning, accompanied by Mrs. Jeanne Green and Marlon Brooks, of Chicago, and Bernice and Druclia Green, of Indianapolis, Ind. The body was carried to the church until 9:30 a.m., and was then escorted to the church, where it lay in state until 11 o'clock. Citizens old and young who knew "Ed" when he was born who came to the colored school where Mr. Green attended when a young man took a half holiday and with the teaching corps attended the funeral in a body. The funeral services the choir sang softly and sweetly "Nearer, My God, to Thee," "Asleep in Jesus" and "Come Ye Desolate" while familiar friends looked at the church in a handsome, covered casket amid the wilderness of flowers. At 11 o'clock the family and friends entered the church, followed by Ed Dorsey, St. John Lodge, as host; Ed Fellows, Bert Davis, Knights of Pythias; Ralph Lewis, Masons; Burkett Manly, Odd Fellows; Henty Stert, Masons; Dr. Morris Blackburn; C. Young, Marion, and Ann B. Beworth, new call bearers; Mrs. Eliza Yantes, of New Albany, accompanied the family. After the Scripture lesson, prayer was offered. The choir sang "In That City," and I read from the family by Julius C. Young, a schoolmate and lifelong friend of Mr. Green. Among the things the obituary said was that the family talked to Mr. Marion Brooks, on matters, saying that "his name had been changed from the book of damn- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THE MUSICIAN KING AND BAILEY. Who Are Featuring Williams and Walker's Chocolate Drops. They were a big hit at the Orpheum Theater, Cincinnati, last week, and a feature at the Colonial Theater, Indianapolis, this week. The daily papers speak in very high terms of them. The following is an actual draft of the Star's Speaking of the Chocolate Drop, and must use discretion, for in reality they are not 'drop' but about a whole stick of _____ation to the Book of Eternal Life." These last thoughts of Mr. Green gave the Rev. James H. McCormick his fervor and eloquence on the text, Psalms, chapter 104, verse 23, "Man go forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening." Before preaching the sermon Rev. Manuel told of his intimate acquaintance with Mr. Green; how, when he was a young man, he was given musical entertainments, and how often the famous "Black Diamond" quartette, of which Mr. Green was organizer, gave in churches and among the best people all over the State. The minister said that it was only a short while ago that he met the dead at the house where he talked about the theatrical life, and Mr. Green stated that he had wished to get to the point where it did not take so long, and he pulled him down. The minister stated that he believed it was overwork that caused the death of the noted New Albanian. Manuel discussed with a large degree of intelligence the life and character of David and the faith he had in God, and he said that he had been moved; also how David knew the life of men. He said that the dead had done his work well, but had been cut down in the morning. He said that he had not been given to Christian service. Here the Rev. Manuel took occasion to give some splendid advice to those present who are not living entirely in the arms of God. "Divine aid came to David," said the pastor, "when the Psalmist urged mankind the aid that of life did not matter how much you arose in the estimation of the American people, how many songs written, how much money acquired, how great an aid that he provided, and it should be well with the Maker. "Your lives should be so well spent that it should not be a task for the minister to provide that aid, and come good instruction in saving. He stated it it was not use to put a large amount in your pocket and then let that pocket have a hole in it. He last words of Mr. Green, who became a member of the church twenty-two years ago, the minister said he believed his condition was fixed with God. He was a man of hope, and also paid a glowing tribute to the Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, and urged all that they must follow in the footsteps of the "lowly Naza- "Rest 'for the Weary," a favorite hymn of Mr. Green, was sung by Mrs. R. W. Baker, the wife of the Rev. Baker, of the A. M. E. Church. The funeral was very sad. Every one present realized that a bright star in the city of Boston was the heroine of the neural services, those in the crowded church remained with bowed heads until the body was conveyed to the hearse and borne to the cemetery. Mr. Baker vault to await burial under the auspices of the Masons, Odd Fellows and Pythians. He leaves Mrs. Jeanette Green, his wife R. W. Baker, of the Drucilla Green, Indianapolis, Ind. It has been learned that Mr. Green will be buried one day next week, and that Mr. R. W. Baker will be buried It has been learned that Mr. Green will be buried one day next week, and that Mr. S. H. Dudley and members of the "Smart Set" company will be present at the burial GOSSIP OF "HIS HONOR, THE BAR BER" COMPANY BY HERBERT EVERETT AMOS. S. H. Dudley to Witness Big Fight. S. H. Dudley is planning to make preparations for a tally-ho trip to the coast in July to witness the Johnson-Jeffries concert on the Fourth. Dudley's party will consist of some of the most prominent people in and out of the show business. Starting from New York, the group will Chicago, St. Louis and a few other prominent cities. Johnson is held in great admiration by Dudley, as they were chums in childhood in the Lone Star State. Ask somebody if they will ever forget the 25th of February. Jimmie Harris don't secret your socks in your trombone any more. Jennie Hillman is the guest of Mrs. Marion Smart Moore, while playing in Dayton. Sarah Venable is reading a book entitled, "A Heart to Heart Talk with Some One." Mrs. Dudley is still talking about that cute little jacket she made for little Sherman. Jenny Pearl, did you get that feather to pose all on that new soring bonnet of yours? Ella Anderson is still enjoying the luxuries of life, and sends her regards to Aline Cassells. Matt Johnson tells us he is purchasing real estate in New Jersey. What right have we to bibsbelieve him? Robert Williams has polished up his French horn. eH must have company out front. Look out, Williams. Frank Pheips, our manager, is still slipping the greasy coin; sometimes it takes an awful olling to make it revolve. Some thoughtful person presented Mr. Dudley with a razor strop. I am told it was the gift of President Taft. While playing the National in Dayton, Ohio, James Harris received several visits from his mother, Mrs. Florence Harris. Harry Enuls, our hustling song-book boy, is still doing a rushing business selling S. candy. King and Bailey get all the melody in their system out with very little trouble, and the feminine drops' dance and the bang musical turns of Williams and Walker. They opened the bill yesterday afternoon, and drove away the chilly Monday afternoon atmosphere with the vint of a vanilleville bill. H. Dudley's song hit, "Come After Breakfast, Bring Along Your Lunch and Leave Before Suppertime." Jessie Harris, the cute little ball球, is with us again, after a short illness in Chicago. She rejoined the show at Dayton, O. Lillian Brown, after recovering from a severe attack of the gripe, has returned to give us that beautiful rendition of "The isle of Love." Jennie Pearl has been visiting her husband, John Larkins, who is in Detroit, Michelle Herart has most creditably filled by Rebecca Roper. Robert Williams, Bessie Tribble and Rebecca Roper are still making good as the dancing trio that's a Flickammy Crying in the Moon" number. Will Ramsey, who plays Mose Lewis, is certainly ashamed. On the stage everything corresponds; from the band on his hat to the hose on his feet. Harry Bechelle is one person connected with a cohesive stage "knocking"—not the members, but tacks. You know, he is the stage carpenter. Laurence Chenault says he thinks he will retreat to the cool recourses of Atlantic City this summer, where he can enjoy the refreshing siestas of the dreamy seashore. Mildred Creed, of the Musical Spielers, was back in the city on several occasions, where we played Grand Rapids, Mich. She likes the "Merry Widow Brown" boys very much. Boys and girls, gaze out at the wings, Boots Allen is kissing some town favorite, Boots, when made up, resembles a big bumble bee. eeH says he is germ-pool against osculation. William Everly ("Red") is still making the pictureque leap as the lion in the jungle he sees, and as the man he is shot he adds feeling to his fall because he never looks for a soft spot.

The men whose names calls and urges them are in well known and are running very orderly places. Negroes are excluded from saloons on Fourth avenue, and other first-class saloons, and new because Negroes have wanted them closed. Saloons are on the opposite corners of the ones he names belonging to white men who are catering to the same trade, yet he does not say one of these Negroes does not villify the white men who run low dives, catering to Negroes, but seeks two men who run first-class places for men of the race. It is to be hoped by the these Negroes—and there are scores of them—that Mr. Knott will be futil in his efforts to put them "out of business."

Charles Bougia is quite popular with the female patronage, regardless of the long wait in the weather. If you can prove to Gus Hall that you lived across the street from him on Bright street he will give you a photo. There was real winter weather! Snow storm! Sixteen inches of snow, and still falling.

He saves three cents out of every five. All mail addressed to him in care of this office will be promptly forwarded. Emma Prince, pretty, fair and divinely tall, is the devoted wife of five years of H. Morgan Prince. She is very pleasant and makes quite a favorable impression at once. Will Cook, the stage manager, was home again with friends and relatives, and was feed and entertained almost more than he could stand. The social stunt was a great one. Anthony D. Byrd, Dr. Footemall, the hoodoom man, was remembered here as "mammy" in the late Ernest Hogan's Rufus Rustus Company. Mr. Byrd, for a while, was a Boiler, of which his wife was a member. What about those foreign postals? Madam Sissieretta Jones, in her usua- queenly dignity, was welcomed by her friends and teachers, and she dealt lightly with Madam and she continues to be stunning and sweet. While there is nothing naughty about her personality, she is about her she tells you of some thing that has worried her) you, feel her presence the moment you approach her. There is that agreeableness that can not be mistaken. Persons who have been around her for years find these qualities as lasting as she finds them prominent at the first meeting. Jeanette Murphy Green, the wife of the late J. Ed. Green, has been with the company for a number of years, and is also Madam Jones' companion. While she is Madam Jones' own wife, her husband's unexpected death. On Friday came the message that he would arrive in this city Saturday about noon, and on Saturday another message came saying "I am going to be about 1 o'clock. It was a great shock, and no one only a brave little soul like Jeanette could have stood it, for she is as brave as any warrior and as true as a princess." Her husband and her baby—their baby. Each week the remittance was sent to the two prime factors in her life, one in Chicago and the other in New York, and each time she was given the money, her to be with him, for his care and support required money, and there was no one to earn that but her. The chapter is sad in its ending, sadder still in detail, and the last tear on his brow and laid him to rest in the New Albany cemetery, and goes out again to battle with life for her baby, having for her comfort that she has done her duty as she saw it. And her friends are her witnesses. TO THE COLORED ARTISTS OF THE STAGE. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 19, 1910. Now friends, stop and think a moment better, and stop splitting out and leaving one another.

CARLISLE AND WELLMON. The bill at the London Pavilion underwent an almost complete change on Monday. Most noticeable among the newcomers are Carlisle and Wellmon, a couple of colored entertainers who met the couple in the house should their retention at this house for an indelible period. They enter an elaborately furnished drawing-room, boasting a spective entertainment. They play the play of greetings, tolceries, the Souma rush in exhaling style, after which Mr. Carlisle sings a pretty balloon accompanied by his partner. As though to show that from the sublime to the theatrical, Mr. Carlisle's performance, "My Cousin Caruso," a burlesque operatic ditty concerning Mr. Enmmersterel of New York, and the famous tenor. There is nothing which tickles the ear more delightfully than rag-time music when it is submitted by artists who have carried it out with well-known where Carlisle and Wellman achieve their special success. When they sing "Kiss Me Nice, Kiss Me Twice," the entire audience seems possessed with a desire to choose the music which they will but for their inability to mitigate the intricacies of tone and the hand-clapping which render the number so fascinating. Both seated at the pianos again dance and play in a perfect riot of joy, with the music of the physique, and present imposing figures in spotless evening clothes.—The Music Hall, London, England, Jan. 27, 1910. THE COLORED VAUDEVILLE BE NEVOLENT ASSN. ANSWERS UNCLE RAD KEESE. By Harry A. Brown. To the Editor of The Freeman My answer to Uncle Rad Keese—and approved by the members of the C. V. is not a writer, but a article is not last week's Freeman, which he speaks at length of the faults and possibilities of the C. V. B. A., but to enlighten us about the association. And a very few words will show that the writer knows not of what he speaks. Again, he is not a member of the association and what information he gives is not a secret order nor is it a union. It is simply a benevolent association, the object being to raise the association and not to fight anybody. We wish to maintain a fund that will take care on the old and infirm members and perform the task to look after the sick and bury the dead. As to the possibilities that are past, we have done all that we started out to do. Because the White Rats, as you say, refuse to sing in some colorful songs, we have benevolent assuctions got to do with that? Nothing whatever now or ever. The word "protective" is not part of the C. V. B. A. You say the white man is making the laws. Vervy the people are making the laws of the C. V. B. A. do under its charter issued by the State of New York. And, in conclusion, I hope I have put you and the public right, i. e., the C. V. B. A. is not a fighting body. But should you be ill and in need of help, why will we be able to help? We also have a good hand of fellowship and the hand of succ. Believe me. HARRY A. BROWN.

COLORED PLAYERS SHOULD DEVELOP BATTING AND GIVE LESS ATTENTION TO PITCHING The Los Angeles Tribils (colored) are taking part in some great winter contests on the coast. They were recently defeated by the Shamrocks (white), of that city, by the score of 3 to 0. "Cyclone" Joe, one of the pitchers upon the staff of the Chicago Giants, played first base in the game, and had the unique record of one putout in eight innings. This is probably accounted for through the great pitching of Langford, who struck out twelve batters. Seven putouts went to short, one to the pitcher, one to first, leaving but three balls to go to the outfield. Managers should watch his performance in the future. Four hits were made off each pitcher, and the opposing twirler found eleven of the dark skins. There was only one error on the part of the colored lads, which shows good fielding, as the assists are plentiful. This latter fact would make it appear that pitching and fielding are being developed more rapidly than batting. This is quite often the case with colored teams, they seem to fency the fielding part of the game, and will practice for hours to perfect the same, but they give but a scant amount of attention to the development of batting. teams are good fielders, but how many come up to the standard in batting? The Leland Giants were perhaps the greatest batting aggregation of color that we have yet seen, still their record in the City League is not so impressive when you consider the class J. H. MORGAN PRINCE. With Black Patti Musical Comedy Company. Having heard of H. Morgan Prince for the past six or eight seasons, the theatrical patronage of this city were pleased to see presentation of his style of work at the Park Theatre with the Black Patti Musical Comedy Company last week, as straight man. His appearance here at this time was his first and he made a very favorable impression as a first-class performer. Mr. Prince began his career of pitchers they were facing. I say this because this club had the choice of the best material in the whole country, and it is a well-known fact that the equal of some of their batsmen is hard to find in the semi-pro. ranks; still their best batsmen were led by men who never could reach the big leagues, and others who had been discarded. We will have to do better in order to rank with the select class of big bitters. The poor batting ability shown by some of our teams is brought about through various causes, some of which I will attempt to name. We do not have the opportunity to face high-class pitching day by day, and this is one of the best things in the business to increase one's ability as a batsman. The pitchers we face are nothing more than amateurs or a lot of passed-up old leaguers playing semi-pro, ball, and their offering is usually found with such an amount of ease that it causes a great slump in thinking, figuring or guessing. Occasionally we meet a big league star, but it is upon a rare occasion when he sends up his best goods; he is always supported by a mixed aggregation of inferior ability, of which high-class playing and inside baseball is an enigma; therefore, batting averages obtained in such contests are no criterion upon which to judge. We can not afford to carry many extra players, and when the regulars go out for the warming up process you will find nothing left upon the bench but pitchers and a sub catcher. Pitchers are not supposed to get out and run down batted balls, as their time is consumed in warming up, as some managers select their slab artist for the day according to the warm-up or other circumstances which may trise. This leaves a dearth of ball chasers, as the regulars are supposed to have batting practice before field practice takes place. As there are no available ball chasers, our boys as a rule resort to batting lightly tossed balls in front of the stands. This is a bad thing for the eye, and nothing can be gained from it. In semi-pro. ball the spectators are constantly in danger of injury, which makes it necessary for the balls to be tapped lightly, which is not even good bunting practice. One should practice batting the kind of pitching that he is most likely to encounter in all games, and he should put as much life and energy in such work as if he were actually in the real contest. The pitchers should do the same. This will benefit both. A bad mistake amongst our players is this: The pitchers, if throwing up balls to the plate, are against the idea of team-mates hitting him all over the let, and the batters in turn are against the idea of being struck out by the pitchers. These things have brought out many a kidding match which has upon numerous occasions developed into strong envy and hatred, which often ruins the discipline of the team and serves to break up strong inside playing and team work. To avoid these offensive features of baseball, colored pitchers are seldom called upon to deliver balls to the batsmen for practice. Each of these mistaken ideas has its functions, all of which help to hold down the development of batting. FROM ARIZONA The following letter from the American consul in Berlin to a resident of Arizona, a friend of the deceased, tells of the death of a talented young colored woman in Berlin, who, had she lived, would doubtless have luster to the achievements of her race: American Consulate General, Berlin, Germany, November 15, 1909. Mr. E. B. Scott, Winkelman, Arizona: Dear Sir—In answer to your favor J. H. with the late W. A. Mahara doing comedy and straight lines. He is also a musician playing both saxophone and solo alto piano to his comedy. With the Black Patti company last March, Mr. Prince with his charming wife filled a long engagement of vaudeville dates throughout the West. Mr. Prince can be assured of real appreciation of his excellent work by Eastern theatre-goers. of the 24th ultimo, I have to state that Miss Marie Florence Montgomery died in one of the hospitals of this city on Wednesday, the 8th of September, from lung and heart trouble. On that day I learned for the first time that she had been ill, through a note received from Miss Hedwig Muller, a young German lady residing next door to her, Tempelhofer-Ufer 36, who, when she found Miss Montgomery suffering some four days previously, at once sent for a doctor, who had her removed to the hospital. Upon telephoning to the medical authorities I found that Miss Montgomery had died that morning. Thursday. Miss Montgomery was buried from the hospital on Saturday afternoon, the 11th of September, and her body taken to St. Luke's Cemetery. The service, which was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Murlin, pastor of the American Church, was simple but very impressive. Besides the pastor and his wife, there were present two American ladies representing the American Benvolent Fund, the secretary, a number of friends of the deceased and myself. There were quite a number of wreaths, flowers, etc., and together, as stated above, the interment was most impressive. I am under the impression that the deceased's brother, Mr. Alonzo Montgomery, is the only living relative. I am, Respectfully yours. Miss Montgomery was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, was was a young woman of more than ordinary mental accomplishments. She was well educated, and especially devoted to the study of music. In July, 1907, she left Rhylote, Nevada, where she then lived, to enter Stearns' conservatory of music in Berlin, to perfect her mastery of the violin, in the use of which instrument she was already accomplished. She had apartments at Tempelhofer-Ufer 35, where she was found stricken with her fatal illness, as indicated above. A. M. Thackara, Not seeing anything in your paper from our section and realizing that there are many things of interest to write about here, I venture to enter the field and let your many readers know something of Oklahoma in general and Muskogee in particular. alizing that interest to are to enter many readers oma in gen- icular. o say that, We take the liberty to say that, while Oklahoma is the youngest in the sisterhood of States, she ranks ahead of any of the older States in Negro progressiveness, in land owning and in the professional and commercial world. We have here in Oklahoma, Negroes from every State in the Union, and they are engaged in every line of business that the white man is. In every town or community where there are more than one hundred population, you will find representative business men and women. Here in Muskogee we have the "big head" because we have more Negro men and women in the trades, business and the professions than any city in the United States. Every line is represented, from bootblack to banker. The People's Bank and Trust Company is the leading financial institution among our people in the West, and when you remember that every dollar that you deposit with them is guaranteed by the great State of Oklahoma, then you will say that it is the leading and most safe of any or all of our fifty-one banks that we have in the United States. The latest acquisition to our many establishments is the O. K. Furniture Company, located on South Second street, in the Sims-McCullough Building. They opened for business the first of the month with M. F. Brown, formerly with the Muskogee Furniture Company, a white firm, as manager. This gives us two first-class furniture stores among our people here. Don't miss a copy of The Freeman if you want to know more about Muskogee and Oklahoma. The Commercial and Industrial Association is getting busy and promises to interest itself in various ways for the bettering of the business of our town. They will soon elect new officers, and everything is ripe for much good to be accomplished during the year, and the landing of the National Negro Business Men's League convention in August.

This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle.

Kansas City, Mon Which team. ho vcalls. Phe Kansas’ City Hoyia Giants.” To which club, 1 therefore sk does My. Johnson's. extravagant eu onium reter?. Té,the term "We" ag, used inthe expression “we are champions,” tes, ie,, Includes “Mr. Johnson and. his new Glub, is falsehood, and does not, in- clude “the ‘aknsas City. kan. Grants?” And if, oncthe other hand, it-ineludes the “Kansas City Kan..

On- what theory, therefore, Mr Johnson ised’ the language attributed to inim in speaking of his new team (if he so tisea it) is beyond my comprehension, un- lene, Indeed, he Is deluded ‘with the. bellet that while he was with “the Kansas City, Kan.

Why. was Mr. Johnson not definite, specie and ortain in his ve ark? The Imporianee of such a course must have been. readily aparent’ to. Mr. Johnson since there are two Kansas Cities hhereahouts—one in. Wyandotte County, Kansas. and the other In. Jackson. Coun: ty, Missouri, and each of ‘them. being a Separate, distinet and’ independent int cipatity. ‘Kansas City, Kan., has been before the baseball publle tegulariy during the. last three. yeara through the active participa tion of “The Kansas City, Kan. Giants” tion of “The Kansas City, Kan., Giants’ resented by any team which was known as ‘The Kansas City Giants or ‘The Kan- sas City Royal Giants, or by any club which made the brililant and unsurpassed record contained in Mr. Johnson's very interesting announcement. In view of the latter fact and the afore- mentioned quotation from Mr. Johnson In regard to the name of his club and the lo- cation of its grounds, one ‘must needs en- counter great difficulties in ferreting out ‘Mr, Johnson's meaning. Can it be possible ‘that’ he intends to decelve the gubic into the belief that “the Kansas Cty, Kan, Giants" “baseball club has changed its name, that he is stil managing the same team ‘that he managed last year under an- other name, and that the club will play its home éngagements in “Kansas City, ‘Mo. Instead of playing them at old River: ‘side Park in Kansas City, Kan, wheer it ‘has played them regularly for’ the three ‘years last past?” Or shall we assume, for the sake of making Mr. Johnson's deciara- ‘tons consistent with the facts, that the termination of Mr. Jobnson’s business re- lotions with “Phe’ Kansas City, Kan, Giants” ‘resulted inthe annihilation of the latter, ‘and (Mr. Johnson being’ the whole show) when he moved. to. Kansas City, Mo., he had a perfect rsht to speak is if thé whole club had. moved” there? ‘His language can he understood only upon one or the other of. the above assump- ‘ons, indeed, his long period of waketul- ‘ness (Mr. Johnson says in his ‘article that ‘he has not ‘been asleep, you know). ‘hits resulted in mental aberration and rendered ‘him ‘iresponsible for his acts, And last, but not least, Mr. Johnson tells the public that when the gong sounds at the beginning of the season he will be there with “the goods.” If by. the phrase iB, oode” he means his own ‘goods I have no objection to urge against his free ‘and unrestrained use of the expression: but if, on the contrary, ‘he intends to con= vey {6 the public the ‘impression. that he has “Phe goods” displayed by "The Kan- sas City, Kan. Giants” during the base- ball season of 1909, T must Insist that Mr. Johnson's statement cannot rise above the level of a prophiecy ; and in this connection I must ‘be ‘permitted to respectfully re- mind him, that “fulfilment is the proof of propheey,” and that if The Kansas City Royal Giants are made of the proper ina terial. and are willing to work hard, they Will doubtiess be ready, willing and able At the beginning of the maseball season of 1911 to make their bow to the baseball public on an enviable record of their own, Instead of being compelled, as the only means of braking into. the limelight, to Wrongfully usurp and appropriate to them. selves the emerited fame and achievements of another club, Before dismissing the subject I wish to suminarize as follows : 1. “The Kansas City, Kan. Giants” baseball club has not, elianged its. name to “The Kansas City Royal Giants,” or to anything else. 2. It ts still a Kansas City, Kan., or- ganization, ‘and still uses old. Riverside Park in Kansas City, Kan., upon which to play its local engagements: 3. It has no grounds, to use Mr. Jock Johnson's expression, on the Missourl side, 4. “The Kansas’ City Royal. Glants" baseball club isa new organization with- out any record whatever. 5. ‘The unparalleled record of victories which Mr. Johnson aparently would have the “public ‘believe. was achieved by. the team of which he is the present manager and which he styles “The Kansas City Royal Giants” was achieved by “The Kan- sas City. Kan., Giants” baseball club dur- ing the season of 1909, %. Jack oJhnson is no longer connected with “The Kansas City, Kan, Giants” in any capacity whatever. In conelusion, permit me to add T have not written this article for the sake of em- barrassing Mr. Johnson, orof minimizing even In the stmallest degree his standing a8 a manager in the baseball world. I have even written with reluctance, lest my action be thought by ‘some to be’ inspired by Jealousy or ill will. But even atthe risk of being misunderstood, I have con- sidered it my duty to make a statement which, T believe, is calculated in a meas- res at least to elucidate and explain some some of tho enigmatical statements con- tained’ in Mr. Johnson's. recent manifesto to the public. ‘And it T have accomplished my purpose, T can ask no greater or better compensation for whatever labor or incon- Venlence this effort may have cost me. In the sincere hope that my remarks wil be Tead and understood in the friendly spirit tn which they are written, t am, ery. respectfully yours, x TORE SMITH, Manager and owner of the K.
